Back in January, you guys helped us pick a great cover for Leanna Renee Hieber’s book, MAGIC MOST FOUL. Now, we need a new title! To refresh your memory, it’s a historical paranormal romance set in 1882 New York City. Think: gas-lit streets, gorgeous dresses, misty nights, cobblestone streets, gothic overtones.
After reading the excerpt below, tell us which of these titles do you like best:
Glimmer in the Dark of Night
Dark Night of My Soul
Secret Things Be Known
The Other Side of Darkness

I threw my caution aside as I opened the curtain obscuring Denbury’s portrait. Seeing him again was every bit as breathtaking as the first time. Would it always be so?
And then I noticed that much like Mrs. Northe, Denbury’s eyes looked a bit sunken, a bit older, wearied. Though still devilishly handsome, something changed about him.
I studied the particulars of the scene. The book “The Girl” remained jutting out from the shelf.
And then I noticed it. There was a new shift. Something out of place. Different.
On his desk, the pristine blotter bore droplets of ink, the quill was lying on its side rather than upright in the shaft of the inkwell. Two words seemed to quite scream up at me from a note that faced my direction upon his desk.
Yes, you!
I nearly fainted.
I scrambled backwards, my small bustle grazing a potted fern that nearly toppled to the floor but for the corner of the balustrade that caught its fall. I tore off my gloves and tried to hastily gather up the bit of soil that had spilled onto the floor. Perhaps, I thought, when I turned back to the painting, that note would not be there and the whole ordeal would be proven a welcome hallucination.
But no.
I looked at the note. Then up at Denbury. I swear to you that he stared back at me.
And wait till you get to the part where Natalie actually goes into the portrait with Lord Denbury. Not to mention ghostly dreams, demons, and some serious wardrobe envy.
Here are the choices again:
Glimmer in the Dark of Night
Dark Night of My Soul
Secret Things Be Known
The Other Side of Darkness
